Editing Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)

{{ArticleIcons|ssb4-3=y|protected=preemptive}}

Classic Mode is a single player mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' that encompasses a series of battles against various characters. Undergoing a huge revamp from previous versions of the mode, the player is now given a choice of a set series of paths to choose from. Rewards such as [[Equipment]] and [[Character customization|Custom Moves]] will be given to the player after the mode's completion.   

Each path is marked by a [[series symbol]], representing a battle set in a stage from that [[universe]] against at least one character from it (with the possibility of more characters from unrelated ones), and a color denoting the battle's difficulty: red indicates a path to more rewards but a harder difficulty, green indicates a medium level of difficulty with moderate rewards, and blue indicates the easiest battle with little reward. The final path to {{SSB4|Master Hand}} is uniquely colored white. On each path, gold and sometimes [[Trophy|trophies]] can be picked up before the battle.

All of one-on-one, 2-on-2, Metal, Giant, and four man free-for-all battles return, the last taking place on one of the characters' [[home stage]]. Unlike previous Classic Modes, [[Past Stages|returning stages]] are playable in the mode. Multi-Man battles also return, either against a normal character or a [[Fighting Mii Team]], but this time they always are the last round before Master Hand. Winning a match rewards the player with gold, as well as additional gold, Custom Parts, or Trophies as randomly selected beforehand (in multiples of 0-5).

In addition to the overall difficulty, the intensity influences the final boss: while Master Hand is the basic final boss, more options can be unlocked at higher intensities. On an intensity of 3.0 or higher, a second, black path is unlocked which leads to a battle with both Master Hand and {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}}. If the intensity is 5.1 or higher, the battle with the two hands will begin as usual, but after taking enough damage, Master Hand will rip open to reveal the new boss [[Master Core]], which possesses several forms and whose starting form is more advanced the higher the intensity. If the intensity is 8.0 or higher, the black path is the only final path.
